Deja Vu all over Again!!

Jack's Catalog Cut, assumed to be labelled a "Flag" brand from C.J.JOHNSON!!
At 3 3/4" (Castrator) it's the size of mine, and this one!!

C.Johnson typical tang stamp!! (C.J. in a flag)

 

[Sacto]

First Sacto came up with this (out of left field??), and then Jack Black came up with the clincher; the actual pattern in print!!
From YOUNG'S SHEEP DIPS, to SHEEP'S LAST DIP gets to the history, and the ridiculous humor I've been looking for!!

A little bit out of left field, but I have castrated a decent number of cattle, sheep, and goats through my career and recognized the knife could be a useful design for that

 

[waynorth]

Gotcha!! Thanks Sacto !!!

 

[Jack Black]

Great find Jack, always can we count on Jack to get these Sheffield Mysteries solved!

Thanks pal, I don't always have the time, but I'm like a dog searching for a bone when I come across a new cutlery mystery!

The perspective of the last photo made the blade look wrong. Here is a better shot

Yes I probably do Charlie! Gotta say I like MUTTON-CHOP and SHEEP'S LAST DIP.
And by the way the bone will be all brown with a little contrast in the pattern, not the two tone in that last pic

Finished the grind and swedge on one.

If you could make a swayback version of this it would look like a razor clam. Nice clean work you do sir.

Sure enough, Will!!
Tony always spoke of bringing the old patterns back to life; and he replicated jigging that he liked!!
R.I.P.

Amazing work!!

Thanks Charlie! I think my jigging is bolder but close. Needs the fluting on the bolster once pinned. That will be a different process for me because I usually do the fluting before assembly. This knife has the pin located inside the fluting area. I'm hoping the pin doesn't show up after I file it.

I normally do it before soldering. That way when I screw up, I don't waste a liner and the soldering process.
You are very gifted sir.
Thank you for showing the WIP pictures too.
